Ingredients:

For the Garlic Bread Base:

  • 1 whole grain baguette, sliced in half lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) of olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) of chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Pizza Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup (120ml) of marinara sauce (choose a low-point or homemade option)
  • 1 cup (150g) of shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • Your favorite pizza toppings (such as sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, spinach, or turkey pepperoni)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Garlic Bread Base:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
    • Place the sliced baguette halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Brush the garlic oil mixture evenly over the cut sides of the baguette.
  2. Bake the Garlic Bread:
    • Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  3. Assemble the Pizza:
    • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread the marinara sauce evenly over the toasted garlic bread.
    • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, covering the entire surface.
    • Add your favorite pizza toppings on top of the cheese, distributing them evenly.
  4. Bake the Pizza:
    • Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the toppings are cooked to your liking.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Once the pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
    • Slice the garlic bread pizza into portions and serve hot. Garnish with additional chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
